stop was made. Mr.. Parsons said the
train men were depending upon a soma.
phore light fully 1000 feet in the rear of
where the stop was made. The conductor
of the train had pulled the cord for this
light when he stepped from his train.
This would throw the glare of the red
danger signal on the track. The night,
however, was foggy and the engineer of
the fast freight must have failed to see
the signal. Superintendent Parsons
thought the accident would have been a
very ordinary one had not the stove in the
sleeper upset. That caused the destruc-
ton of the sleeper, two coaches and the
baggage car and in the main was doubt
less the cause of the loss of life.
The Coroner at the Wreck.
Coroner Leatherman, Mr.. Parsons said,
reached the scene from Valparaiso about
ll:3O a. M, and after viewing the debris
and making some inquiries, he had found
1t necessary to go to Huntington in search
of witnesses. The wounded, Parsons ex-
planned, had been taken there as early as
possible, and the passengers who were un-
hurt, TO the number OF twenty five, had
been forwarded to their destination with
out delay.
1t appears that Coroner Leatherman
did not empauel a Jury. That procedure
is not a necessity according to the laws of
Indiana. AT the wreck the coroner was
met by Mr.. Johnson, attorney for the
Chicago & Atlantic, and being told that
the engineer of the freight had been
taken with the other survivors to Hunt
ington, the coroner decided to go there,
which he did in company with the rail
roads lawyer and several other gentle
men. The coroner is well spoken of
among the people at Koutts. They did
not %criticise his action in going to Hunt.
ington, believing he is square. The cor
oner is described as being rather a young
man to be charged with such an import
ant duty as to determine the responsible
ty for the wreck.
a wOman's Brave Acts.
A pathetic incident of the wreck is re-
lated by the station agent. 1t is a story
ola young woman from Ohio whose name
could not be remembered. She was one
OF the passengers on the illlated train,
and when the crash came with presence
of mind and energy worthy of a strong
minded masculine she seized an ak from
its resting place on the side of the car and
hewed her way through to the window.
Her own safety assured, her thoughts
turned to the helpless unfortunates whose
cries for assistance sounded behind her.
They did not call in vain, for she rushed
in the direction OF the cries and personally
aided those poor souls from the wreck.
To use her own language: Il did all l
could, and would have continued had l
not heard DIR. Perry crying and moaning
piteously that his feet were burning.
Then my strength gave way and | was
compelled TO desist and seek assistance
myself.n

To day, on his bed of agony at the
hotel, the engineer OF the passenger train
told the following story:
1--WE passed No. 40 at Boone Grove on
time and started towards Koutts. No.
As pulled out of the station less than two
minutes behind us, when they should
have waited much longer. When we
were well away from town we could see
her light a little way behind. We were
not running fast because the engine was
on one side. We had broken the eccen-
trio strap and were running but one pair
Of wheels, having been forced to discon-
meet the other pair of wheels, which we're
running loose. OF course the accident held
our speed down a little, but we had no
idea the engineer of No. 40 would have
any difficulty in keeping off from our
heels. The last time | looked back there
was ample room between us. We stopped
at Boone Grove, and were there almost a
minute before she struck us"

ANOTHER HORROR.
Terrible Wreck on the Chicago
& Atlantic Railroad.
A Freight Train Crashes Into
an Express.
The Passenger Cars Soon a
Mass Of Flames.
Nine Dead Bodies Recovered
From the Wreck.
An Indiana Railroad Horror.

KOUTTs, Oct. 1.-THE worst horrors
of Chatsworth were duplicated here to-
day. A dozen blood stained, smoke be-
grlmed and injured victims of railroad
carelessness or laundering were brought
into the villages little station house carly
this morning and afternoon. Nine
charred corpses, victims of some blunder-
ing or carelessness, were laid upon the
station platform, while three miles west
down the track of the Chicago & Atlantic
railroad, near a lonely old water tank,
piles of fearfully tangled debris marked
the spot where the collision, seldom
equalled for terrible results, had occurred.
According to the best estimate obtaina-
BILE, for only an estimate was possible,
fully thirty human lives had been sacri-
feed outright and half that number of
persons had suffered injuries more or less
serious. The east bound express that left
Chicago last night with a great load of
passengers had, without a moment
warning, during a temporary wait, been
smashed into from behind by a heavily
loaded fast freight ~plunging madly for
ward in the darkness, bent on beating all
competition in hurrying dressed meat to
the markets of the seaboard.
Some part of tie machinery of the
passenger engine had been thrown out of
order during the run from Chicago. A
trifling stop at the water tank would make
it all right, it was thought, and a stop
was accordingly made. Suddenly out of
the darkness behind came the flash OF a
headlight, a rush and rattle of many
wheels, and then a mighty crash. Just
as at Chatsworth the sleeping coach now
got in its deadly work. The massive
framework of the sleeper was transformed
into a huge catapult, and, pushed merci-
lessly forward by the freight, it crushed
into the cars forward, smashing their
comparatively light timbers and making
the work of destruction complete. The
wreck quickly took fire, and the sight of
the shrieking victims and dancing flames
was one never to be forgotten.
, 1887-10-12

DR.. Mckee rendered noble service. He
had scant time to give his experience in
detail, but stated to the best of his knowl-
edge that it would not be overstating the
facts to say that the collision had cost the
lives of fully thirty people. 1t was shortly
after | o'clock this morning when he
reached the wreck. and he Immediately
began to give his services to the wounded
These who were badly hurt when the
crash came, he says, must have had little
chance for their lives, so quickly had the
cars taken fire and SO thorough was the
work of the flames. As an illustration of
the destruction and the difficulty of arriv-
ing at a correct idea of its magnitude, the
doctor said that probably not a soul would
have been made aware of the total wiping
out Of the Miller family of six had not
their boy been saved.
DIR. Mckee stated that only nine bodies
have been recovered and they were so
badly charred as to be almost beyond rec
ignition, the most left of any Of them
being a blackened trunk and in some
cases a little beyond a few handfuls OF
ashes. The nine were as follows: The
| Miller family of Dundee-father, mother,
two brothers and a girl. Their IA year
old boy, Herman. will probably die also

The Railroad Officials Ketlcenr.

This afterr Don, when the reporters,
who had been long delayed in reaching
Koutts, began at last to arrive, there was
little in the aspect of the village to indi-
cate the calamity that had so recently
taken place. All the dead bodies had
been carefully removed from sight, but
the wounded we're still in the village.
The local employees were deaf and dumb
to all seekers of information, and the
coroner had been obliged to go to Hunt
%ington, over so miles distant, to obtain
the statements of the witnesses, and the
villagers seemed wholly at sea regarding
the extent of the disaster. The only per.
son about and willing to tell the details Of
the horror was DR.. G. w. Mckee. The
doctor is a prosperous looking, intel
ligent man of about 81, who promptly
responded in the dead of the night to a
call that he take a hand car and go to the
scene of the wreck, three miles from his
residence.

How she patiently waits, year by year
For lover who sailed on the ocean
And whose good ship will never appear?
Shall tell you of hearts that are signing
For a kind word of comfort and cheer?
Shall tell you that we should be trying

Than be honored for talent and beauty
By the proud and the great of the land?
